One of my hottest takes is that I am personally exhausted by Christian nature spirituality. It’s not wrong; I have no valid objections to any of; we’ve all read Annie Dillard and Mary Oliver; I like Mary Oliver.
But the radical under-development of urban spirituality deeply frustrates me.

Amazing to say you want a clarity in policy when you keep wanting to repeal something the voters want which simplifies existing complex policy
Speaking on H Street, @mayorbowser.bsky.social is again talking up her proposal to repeal Initiative 82, which phases out the tipped wage: "It has created confusion and added costs and cost the industry up to 1,700 jobs in D.C. That's not what we want. We want balance." 51st.news/d-c-council-...

If it happens, I expect I'll be complaining to Speaker Johnson whenever my recycling is missed or about the Commanders' stadium
If Trump and congressional Republicans want to run D.C., they should know that it's... a bit of a grind. There were 1.5 million calls for service to 311 in 2024. That's more than 2,800 for every member of Congress. "A great chore and perhaps a big bore," said a reporter in 1963.
